Hi James,

I'm assuming you're referring to the package.json acting as the workspace root in my demo repository.

Packages marked as private are not meant to be published and that's the reason the workspace root is marked as private.

But if you go one level down and look at the package.json for each workspace, you'll notice they are not marked as private. That's the reason I'm able to publish those packages to the registry.

Let me know if you need any further clarifications. I'll be glad to help.
